Pre-COVID, you could get a buttfuck load of Chinese food delivered for like $30 bucks after tax and tip, because a "dinner for two" was a big bag of like 3 items plus eggrolls and fortune cookies and the dinner containers would be stuffed to the brim so when you opened the lid, the lid popped up and food spilled out!
POST-COVID, now a dinner for 2 is $60+ without tax, tip, or delivery fee!!!!
As a seasoned alcoholic, I know that the ol' liver sometimes needs a Chinese food extravaganza to keep your body from shutting down, and the potency of MSG and grease is like steroids for your battered and abused alcohol-processing-organ.
Now? I might have to quit drinking because all of the best hangover foods and recovery meals are fucking RIDICULOUS... Even "dinner for 1" at a number of Chinese places I've grabbed takeout from... the TAKEOUT is $20+ tax, time to drive there, gas, and then the "dinner" is basically a half empty container with like 4 sweet and sour chicken balls, like a half cup of beef black bean broccoli, and then like the rest is shitty fried rice or cheap ass noodles. Inside the actual chicken balls now is like a fucking chicken toe worth of actual chicken as the batter is like 99% of the entire chicken ball. Last fucking place I went, I swear, they just added chicken flavour to the batter and there was no chicken inside the fucking ball! Also places CHARGE $1 for a fucking fortune cookie now! Cocksuckers!
